About this tool
Each draw uses your browser's secure random generator, and selection is free of modulo bias, so every entry has exactly the same chance. Unique mode ensures nobody is picked twice, which suits prize draws. Turn it off for independent random picks.
For public giveaways, record the result (a screenshot with the time) so people can see it was fair.
